that one day last week Samuels chartered a

Providence depot, where be was to take a
train for the West. The horse, which was
lame and unfit for work, caught the eye
Of Miss Lotta, who seized the bride and

Owing 10 these proceedings Samuels lost
his train and ne now seeks redress for his
loss of time in the manner stated.

Where Il. y o. Stock Will stand in a Few
Days.
BALTIMORE, November 29.--BaltimOre
and Ohio railroad common stock dropped
TO l04 to-day, closing at that figure, the
lowest yet reached in the decline which
began when Robert Garrett went into the
deal with Ives & Stayner. The stock went
off six points to-day. 1t opened at 10,
dropped to LOG, at which figure ID shares
we're shares were sold, and then, at the
afternoon call, fell to 104, at which a
couple of small lots were sold. 1t has been
noticed by the bankers and brokers that
nearly all the sales of late in this stock
have been the small holdings, as invest
meuts of private parties who fear for the
future of the road.
A banker on change to-day said he
would not take any of the stock at 90 and
he and other knowing ones predicted that
it would go TO par if not below before the
first of the year. In financial circles it is
said, as Hambleton & Co. declared in their
last weeks circular, that the mysterious
manner in which the managers Of the COM
pany and the Drexel-Mergan syndicate are
asking in not making a plain detailed
statement of the exact condition of affairs,
is causing the people to loose confidence
in the company and to think that the cor
porstiOn is more rotten than perhaps it
really is. The delay in calling special
meeting of the new directors for organiza-
tion continues to be matter of spscula-
tiOn in financial circles. The meeting,
however, will likely he held next Thurs
day, and Mr.. Spencer will be chosen
President. The salary OF the Office will be
fixed at SIS, 900 year.

HE GETS ANEW TRIAL.
JACOB SHARP GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE
TO ESCAPE SING SING.
The Decision Of the Lower Court Reversed and a
New Trial Ordered - Improper Testimony
Admitted-HOw the Boss BOOdlsr
Heard the Glad News.

ALBANY, n. Y, November 29.-The
Court of Appeals handed down its decision
in the Jacob Sharp case this morning. 1t
reverses the decision of the lower court
and orders a new trial The decision says:
During the trial exceptions were taken
in behalf of the defendant to the decisions
of the trial court in admitting, against
this objection, certain testimony which 1t
is conceded was material and without
which, it is claimed by the appellant, 8
conviction could not or might not have
been obtained.
First-Among others the counsel for the
prosecution proved that the defend
ant was examined, as a witness before a
committee of the Senate. If this State, ,ap-
pointed to investigate among other things,
the methods of the Broadway Railwy
Company, in obtaining such consent, and
also the action in respect thereto OF the
Board of Aldermen of said city, which
granted, or of any member thereof, who
voted for the same, and that he upon that
occasion gave testimony, which the learned
counsel for the prosecution, claimed to be
irrefutable evidence of his participation
and completely in the commission OF the
crime.
The admission of Phelps testimony is
also pronounced an error There were
two decisions rendered in the Sharp case,
one BY Judge Danforth and one by Judge
Peckham, and the court concurred in
both.
When the news of the Sharp decision
reached the county court house, it created
considerable stir among the lawyers pres
ent in the numerous courts. The general
opinion seemed to be one of approval Mr..
Clark, law partner of Congressman Bourke
Cochran, who argued the case on appeal,
on receiving the news at once started
for Ludlow street Jail, to convey the
glad tidings to Jacob Sharp. He first saw
Mrs. Sharp She cried with Joy and said
she heard 30 many rumors that she found
it difficult to believe. She then broke the
news to her husband. He manifested no
emotion whatever, and seemed even to
take but little interest in the matter.
Since his conviction he has fallen into a
moody, stOlid state of indifference to all
outward things, from which it seems i'm
possible to arouse him. Mr.. Clark said
that when Mr.. Cochran returns from AL
bany tonight there will he consultation
about applying fer ShaTp's admission to
bail. 4 motion to that effect, he said,
will probably be made tomorrow.

A Bone OF Contention In Detroit-Is He
Insane?
CHICAGO, November 29.-A Detroit,
Mich, special says: No steps looking TO-
ward judicial investigation as to the
stat. of Senator Jones' mind have yet been
taken. The friends of Mr.. Jones who are
opposed to investigation, say that it will
not take place, while those who have been
rrging such course persist that it Is the
wisest thing TO be done under the circum-
stances. This difference Of opinion has
resulted in the creation of two factions,
one advising heroic measures to induce the
Senator to leave Detroit, or engage in the
practice of his profession the other against
such q step as absurd and unjustiiiable.
They hold it ridiculous TO think of hauling
q man up az insane who has troubled no
one and simply chooses TO stay in Detroit.
A good deal of feeling has been aroused
between these adverse parties, Both have
advanced money TO Mr.. Jones.
To a reporter Mr.. Jones said: ut is
strange that man who haS seen as much
of the world as | have, should he com
PEELED to receive advice from some who are
seeking TO govern my course. Who
should know better than what ia best TO
be done, or understand better the reasons
for doing it? 1t will eventually be shown
that am acting for the best.
To another the Senator said that his pur
pose for remaining in Detroit would be at
tained within year, and that he would
return to Florida before the expiration OF
that time.
p. Hickey, said TO be an influential
friend Of the family from Pensacola, Fla, ,
arrived last night, and another effort will
be made to get the Senator away from De
trcit. If il fails, then legal proceedings
will be commenced. The physicians who
were with the Senator Saturday have in
formed John Il. Jones, the son. that they
are ready to sign certificate Of insanity
TO the Probate Court.
